Owner Review Summary

Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say

👍What Pet Owners Praised

Owners consistently praised the veterinarians’ knowledge and outcomes, with multiple accounts of horses saved, effective colic help, complicated foalings handled, and kind end‑of‑life support. Reviewers highlighted an empathetic, friendly team from reception to techs and vets, with good follow‑up communication. Many also mentioned fair or reasonable pricing and helpful conveniences like online booking and prompt holiday emergency response.

💬Common Feedback & Suggestions

Concerns were relatively few but included a complaint about reception/admin service, one owner feeling the clinic pushes unnecessary repeat visits and costs, and another reporting a refusal to help a large‑breed dog and being told to travel to Vancouver for an x‑ray. A couple of reviewers found prices high, though others specifically praised value and not being upsold. Overall, the sentiment is strongly positive with isolated frustrations around customer service and pricing.
